On Windows, there used to be (possibly a third-party application) a desktop widget that had a “turtle”, and if you clicked on the widget it would drop a little pixel of food, and the turtle would slowly walk over to it and consume it. I thought that was really cool.
Currently considering Alien: Isolation at 75% off/ $10, Vampire Survivors at 25% off / $3.75…
They’re not the same thing, though. If you use infantilizing language with people of one sex until they’re 40, yeah, people are going to notice that and think it’s weird. I used to have a ton of unexamined behaviors like that before I worked on it a fair amount, and yeah, I was pretty lonely back when…
You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon
I don’t own mine because I pirated them
We are not the same
edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.
Okay, but “never have I ever understood why X” is just turning “never have I ever” into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.
Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.
I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.
You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There’s only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a “weirdness” perspective, and there’s not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.
I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they’re eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.
It’s all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child’s interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that’s dull to you is new to them (and everything that’s exciting to you, they’re often not ready for yet).
Don’t touch my garbage! 😾
You don’t need admin to plug your computer into the AV do you? I assumed it was OP’s computer.
How does this chrome add-on get installed in the first place?
That’s why tmux has synchronize-panes!
the human still got the job and was paid for it, he was just saved the hassle of
These are hourly contract roles, so that isn’t how it works. “saved the hassle of” - the human lost working hours.
The guy who discovered the xz attack was also a Microsoft employee, for what it’s worth.
Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.
